Summary

Brookfield High School serves approximately 849 students in grades 9–12 in Brookfield, CT, and is part of the Brookfield School District. The school currently ranks 39th out of 133 Connecticut high schools (71st percentile, 4 stars) for the 2025–2026 school year, placing it in the top third of the state. Academically, Brookfield consistently outperforms the state average in English language arts, math, and science on SAT/NGSS assessments, and its four-year graduation rate of 97.8% for 2024–2025 far exceeds the state average of 91.2%. Chronic absenteeism is also remarkably low at just 3.1% in 2024–2025, compared to 17.2% statewide.

English language arts is clearly the school's strongest subject, with 71% of 11th graders meeting proficiency in 2025–2026, well above the state's 55.3%. Math proficiency sits at 41% — above the state but notably weaker than ELA — and science proficiency is more volatile at 57.9%. When compared to nearby schools, Brookfield sits in the middle of the pack. Joel Barlow High School and Newtown High School outperform Brookfield across nearly every subject, while New Milford High School and Danbury High School score well below. Despite being less than 4 miles from New Milford, Brookfield's graduation rate (97.8%) and chronic absenteeism (9.7% in 2025–2026) are dramatically better.

Brookfield stands out for its results with historically underserved students: Hispanic students earned a 4-star rating and low-income students received a 5-star rating in recent years, indicating strong outcomes compared to their peers statewide. The school achieves these results with moderate per-pupil spending of $16,866 — well below nearby schools like Shepaug Valley School ($30,613) and Joel Barlow ($23,477). The student–teacher ratio of 12.6 is middle-of-the-road for the area. While the school's Asian student subgroup received a low star rating in 2025–2026, this data should be interpreted cautiously given the small size of that group. Overall, Brookfield offers a reliable, solid education with room for growth in math and science.
